   Ethel L sent in her story, about a great find: "Recently I was at a local flea   
   market when I found a beautiful Wathams Ladies Watch.  It still had the little   
   plastic covers on the front and back.  I know that the Watham Watch Co.  went   
   out of business in 1957.  This watch was in a plastic bag and the price was   
   $1.50.  The lady said she didn't know if it worked but I took a chance since   
   it looked in new condition.  Took it home put a battery in and it runs   
   perfectly.  The best buy I ever made at a flea market.  I gave the lady $2.00   
   and since she didn't have change she gave me a dollar back.  What a find."   
      
      
   Theresa B. sent us these pictures and wants to know if anyone can help her   
   with more info and a value of possible: "I have a antique tool that I do   
   believe is a drill press of some sorts and would like to know its value.  ...I   
   don't have much history on this but I know that it has L.F.&C.  New Britain,   
   Conn.  USA. engraved on it and that it is a Vintage hand drill press.  "
